2.07 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped greenish blue sapphire weighs 2.07 carats, and measures 10.43 by 6.75 by 4.07 millimeters, offering a luxurious presence without overwhelming the hand. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the facets are arranged to maximize sparkle and depth, and the excellent polish brings out lively reflections that dance across the stone as it moves. Evaluated as eye clean at typical viewing distance, this sapphire presents a clarity that many market alternatives fail to match, where included stones often show visible needles or clouds. The vivid color intensity is rare for a gem of this size, giving a saturated greenish blue that reads vivid rather than dark or muted, and the transparency allows light to penetrate and be refracted, creating brilliance unlike the duller stones commonly offered. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka lends a pedigree that collectors and connoisseurs recognize, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem with full disclosure of its enhancement, noting that it has been heat treated to refine tone and clarity, a stable and widely accepted practice that elevates its natural beauty while preserving its intrinsic value.

Long before any hand shaped or polished this gem, a dramatic geological story unfolded over millions of years, deep within ancient metamorphic terrains. In the heat and pressure of the Earth, aluminum rich rocks reconstituted and tiny corundum seeds began to grow during episodes of metamorphism that alternated with periods of quiescence, allowing crystals to slowly build. Trace elements, most notably iron and titanium, diffused into the corundum lattice during growth, subtly tinting the pure crystal to produce the distinctive greenish blue hue seen in this stone. Rivers and seasonal monsoons then liberated crystals from bedrock, carrying them into gem gravels where mechanical weathering smoothed rough edges and concentrated the finest material in placers. Each crystal that survived transport retained a record of that long journey, encoded in its color zoning and internal patterns, and when a cutter selected this particular crystal from a parcel of Ceylon stones, they saw the potential for a pear shape that would showcase both the color flashes and the clarity. The result is a natural jewel that is truly a condensed history of Earth processes, each facet a page in a narrative that spans epochs.

When compared to other sapphires on the market, this 2.07 carat Ceylon pear stands apart in several measurable ways, offering a combination of size, color, and clarity that is uncommon. Many commercial stones emphasize weight at the expense of transparency, or offer vivid color but with heavy inclusions or poor cuts that mute light return, and some sellers promote darker stones that appear almost black in certain lighting. By contrast, the mixed brilliant pear cut on this stone was chosen to optimize both face up color and scintillation, producing lively sparkle that elevates the visual impact beyond what a simple step cut or shallow pavilion could achieve. The eye clean clarity grade means that at typical viewing distances the surface and interior are free from distractions, allowing the vivid color to remain the focal point. The excellent polish sharpens facet junctions and intensifies reflection, a finishing touch that differentiates premium gems from ordinary ones. Heat treatment is clearly disclosed, representing a conventional and stable enhancement that improves color saturation and reduces the appearance of stress lines, and because The Natural Sapphire Company ensures transparent disclosure and expert cutting, buyers receive both honesty and superior craftsmanship, rather than the surprise of undisclosed alterations that can reduce long term value.

For a customer assessing choices in the marketplace, this sapphire offers exceptional value and a unique character that competes strongly with both similar natural stones and lab grown alternatives. Its Ceylon origin provides a heritage of quality, as Sri Lankan sapphires often present complex, desirable tones that are difficult to replicate, while the greenish blue palette offers versatility for designers seeking something beyond the standard cornflower blue or deep navy variants. At 2.07 carats and with the offered dimensions, it sits in a sweet spot for engagement rings and statement jewelry that balance wearability with presence, and the pear silhouette lends itself to elegant solitaire settings, halo designs, or bespoke pieces where the stone can be oriented to flatter the hand. Maintenance is straightforward, as the heat treatment is stable, and routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will preserve the brilliance. In a market where many options emphasize price over provenance, this sapphire delivers a superior blend of geological story, technical quality, and aesthetic appeal, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its selection, offering the expertise and transparency that discerning buyers demand.
